SummaryI built a mini-itx computer with a i7 4790k cpu in an EVGA hadron Air. I first used the OEM cooler from intel and my temps were a little high, 40c at idle and 67c while doing a little web browsing. After I installed one of these coolers the temps went down 10 degrees at idle to 30c, and lowered it 25 degrees to 42c while web browsing. That's a very significant drop in temperature. I'm very satisfied.

SummaryBought this to replace an older Zalman cooler that was making fan noise.This Noctua is perfect for my HTPC as its profile is only 125mm height which is perfect. None of the low-noise-adapters are being used and its still so quiet and cool to the touch. Even when I'm running HandBrake for 4 hours+ encoding DVD's it remains quiet and cool.

ProsGood QualityThermal paste includedFits any of the lastest sockets (AMD/Intel)

ConsNone

SummaryBought this as a gift for my brother and works perfectly on his Phenom II x6 1090T OCed. Can't remember the OC but he's well over 4ghz with this fan and he was running around 25°C of temp without any load tho.

SummaryI purchased this to replace my gigantic Thermalright Archon. Although it does not give me the same level of performance as far as temps are concerned, I am willing to compromise because it actually fits in my case. This is my first Noctua product and I am completely impressed with the packaging and build quality. I would definitely purchase another Noctua product in the future.

SummaryI had been looking for a noctua heatsink for a while and i was looking for a fair price and a moderately sized heatsink. when this cooler went on sale for 29.99$ i had to get it. It was well worth the price! Fairly quiet too. One thing i was dissappointed with was that it blocked one of my RAM slots on my motherboard (Asus p8z68-v pro)

This summer we have reviewed CPU cooling solutions in all shapes and sizes from a just as varied number of manufacturers. Unsurprisingly there are some that we particularly liked and some that we didn't. Thus far Noctua is a brand that has never disappointed us, so when we were asked to review

The NH-U9B SE2 Cooling Fan/Heatsink continues the legacy of Noctua's classic NH-U9 series of compact premium coolers, which have received more than 100 awards and recommendations from the international press. The new NH-U9B SE2 Cooling Fan/Heatsink lends itself to use in quiet HTPCs or smaller cases and adds support for LGA1156 as well as LGA1366 via the latest SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system. Topped off with Noctua's award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound as well as two premium-grade NF-B9 fans, the NH-U9B SE2 Cooling Fan/Heatsink offers a complete quality package for excellent quiet cooling performance.
